Emphasis Preaching Journal

In my part of the country, we don't think much about the rainfall. We always seem to have quite enough for the crops to grow, for the rivers to flow, and the grass to stay green.

But a few years ago, we hit a dry spell. It didn't rain for a week or so. It didn't rain for another week or so. The lawns began to turn brown. We quit mowing, of course. More serious was what was happening to the gardens. The tomatoes and carrots were dying. We needed rain so desperately!
